Vokoun is an unrestricted free agent this offseason and multiple reports indicate his time in Washington was unhappy and will be short-lived.
Recommendation: Vokoun had a rough 2011-2012 season, plagued by injury and inconsistent performance. Teammates have since questioned his accountability and attitude, with Vokoun often raising his hands after goals, attempting to deflect blame on his defense. The Caps surely allowed a lot of shots on goal throughout the year, but seemed to rally around the rookie Holtby, who is likely to carry the mantel into the 2012-2013 season.
